ST. ELMO'S FIRE (1985)

[LP_Quagmire]

In this engaging offering, the popular Sesame Street star plays a wealthy philanthropist who opens a much-needed orphanage deep in the worst end of the Bronx. In a graceful gesture, the children give their furry benefactor the nickname, "St. Elmo," only to turn on him when their new home mysteriously burns to the ground, (hence the title of the movie). Did Elmo set the fire for the insurance money, or is someone trying to frame him? A dejected Elmo must go on the lam to clear his name, and while this is clearly the most "adult" of the Elmo features, the entire family should enjoy this entertaining hybrid of "The Muppet Movie" and "The Fugitive."

It's only a rumor .. but late one night .. the Cookie Monster got a craving . .went crazy looking for the new Watermelon Oreo cookies (Cookie can see into the future) and when he couldn't find them .. knocked over a candle and ran for his life.

He didn't see the Snuffleupagus in the corner but that's any movie.

I always suspected Mr. Hooper knew more than he was telling.

Of course when he isn't on Sesame St., Mr. Hooper bears a striking resemblence to Burt Reynolds, so that he has to change his appearence when slumming in the Bronx, means there something about this man which is not to be trusted, and he may be up to no good.

But Mr. Hooper died in 1982.

Couldn't be him.

That's what they want you to think!

This reminds me of another film that came out the same year.  THE BREAKFAST CLUB.  I don't remember the entire synopsis, but it has to do with Alley Oop, misplacing his favorite club (or has it been stolen?).  The Club is the one he uses to take out bearcats, when he wants Bearcat Stew for breakfast.  Hilarity & drama ensues.

Doesn't one of the women have ringworm or pink eye? If so, I've seen this flick too. GOOD GOLLY, Miss Molly, I've seen a lot of these flicks.

You sure that wasn't "PRETTY IN PINK"?

Was that the flick where they steal FRESH HORSES and ride off to BLUE CITY?

[McDougals House of Horror]

Hmmmm, let me think...

St. Elmos was truly a horror film for the ages.

St. Elmos was truly a horror film for the ages.

So was "Henry Portrait of a Cerial Killer" where the Cookie Crisp Cop has to investigate a sereis of murders, beginning with one where a white rabbit is given a choice between an antidate to some poison he'd been given, or a bowl of Trix.
